80599Los Angeles: Local 644 International Motion Picture Painters Union 1945. First Edition. Sole printing. Quarto 11" x 8-1/2". 189 unnumbered mimeographed sheets including title page and introduction printed recto-only chiefly illustrations; post-bound at left margin. Unprinted card rear cover wrapper possibly later; no front cover wrapper else complete and probably as issued. Minor edge-creasing and wear; faint marginal stain to final 15 leaves well away from printed area; evidence of old adhesion to cover page not affecting legibility; Very Good and quite well-preserved especially considering the volume's inherent fragility. <br /> <br /> A bound volume presumably one of very few produced collecting all of the circa 185 issues of "The Picket Line" a cartoon broadside distributed daily to striking workers during the 1945 Hollywood Film Strike which began in March 1945 following a walkout by the Hollywood local of the International Set Decorators Union. A number of sympathetic locals joined the strike but others - including the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and the Screen Office Employees' Guild - refused to honor the picket line leading to a lockout that lasted more than five months. <br /> <br /> The cartoons draw on topical events often commenting humorously on developments of the day before. A recurring comic character is a sardonic rat an avatar for the union scabs who refused to join the strike weakening the position of labor and paving the way to the violent events of October 5 1945 the so-called "Hollywood Black Friday" when strikebreakers were brought in to violently suppress the strike fire-hosing and clubbing dozens of strikers in front of the gates of Warner Brothers Studios. All of these events are pictured here with the upbeat mood of the drawings growing increasingly dark following the events of Black Friday. The cartoons are preceded by a one-page introduction giving the background of the strike and tracing its history through its conclusion which came when the strikers finally called a truce on October 31st. A rarely-seen relic of one of the darkest incidents in Hollywood labor history. Rare: OCLC notes three copies MSU UM and UCLA; not generally seen in commerce. unknown

195187589New York: Duell Sloan & Pearce 1951. First Edition. First printing with Roman numeral "I" to copyright page. Inscribed by Massing on front free endpaper: "To Ralph and Nora / in friendship in love" signed undated but apparently contemporary with publication. Octavo. Red cloth hardcover; dustjacket; 335pp. Tight clean copy Very Good or better. In the original dustwrapper unclipped priced $3.50 on front flap rubbed and worn with some clear tape reinforcements to head and heel; just VG. <br /> <br /> A singular presentation copy of Massing's sensational memoir revealing her career as an NKVD recruiter in Washington beginning in the 1920s through the Great Depression and WW2. After the war Massing turned; her testimony against Alger Hiss in 1949 was a critical factor in his ultimate conviction. This copy inscribed to the prominent right-wing journalist commentator and political operative Ralph de Toledano and his wife Nora. Toledano's 1916-2007 1950 book "Seeds of Treason" is one of the key conservative accounts of the Hiss trial and marked a clear turning point in Toledano's career - he having been prior to the revelations of the trial a socialist-aligned left intellectual at one time the editor of the SP organ The New Leader and later a publicist for the left-wing International Ladies Garment Workers Union ILGWU.

1948204680N.P. Los Angeles: n.p. 1948. Folded three times horizontally as for mailing otherwise fine. Mimeographed broadside printed on one side of a single legal-sized leaf approx. 8-1/2 X 14 inches. Informational broadside of unspecified origin likely intended for readers of "Peoples' World" or a similar Soviet-sympathetic publication. The document centers on a Q & A sequence addressing the situation in Berlin which had been blockaded by the occupying Soviet forces in a direct challenge to the developing post-war order. The broadside offers explanations of some of the issues that led to the blockade. It appears to predate the commencement of the Berlin Airlift with which allied forces answered the blockade. An early relic of one of the first major controversies of the Cold War. n.p. unknown
